Hirstys Salopettes Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Drag it out to such an extent that the threat of any subsequent appeal jeopardizes next seasons fixtures ... it’s what QPR did However the EFL are wary of this and have thus acted swiftly on the misconduct charge (IIRC Gibson asked them to look into the ground sale in September) Edited November 15, 2019 by Hirstys Salopettes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see anything happening quickly. Took them a year to sort out Forestieri then no doubt we'll appeal. Took year's for them to sort out QPR and they ended up paying a fraction of the fine. And equally the EFL barristers will have looked at it and decided they have a case to pursue. Unless it's all part of a wider smokescreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but that seems like a bit of an extreme reaction just because you disagree with some people. Show this site to supporters of other clubs ( I have) then gauge their reactions. That may just answer your question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowOwl Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 DC should absolutely throw everything at it in Jan, buy Bale or something ridiculous. Get promoted and stick 2 fingers up at the EFL as we go. What else has he got to lose now. In the meantime find every possible way to push the decision until after start of next season. As soon as the new PL seasons kicks off, if we are there then there is nothing they can do Wolves did it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Everyone’s expecting us to hit a brick wall on the pitch now but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the opposite happen and Monk’s experience of these problems at Birmingham give us an even better chance of this happening IMO?

room0035 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If we look at Birmingham as a good example the got docked 9 points for financial irregularities, then another 3 points for trying to sign a player when in a transfer embargo a player that the EFL subsequently allowed to complete his transfer. We are getting done for financial irregularities if the sale of the ground is not allowed, then we will also get done for the dodgy dealing of selling the ground to a company that did not exist at the time of the supposed sale. Best case scenario as the EFL have apparently signed off all of our accounts and only when Heir Gibson moaned, have they looked into our club dealing we could be looking at a 6-12 point deduction ala Birmingham. But I also think there will be a fine, but for me this should be not paid for by Sheffield Wednesday but DC, as why should the fans and the club pay yet again for DC and his advisor not having a clue what they are doing.

We've tried to comply with the rules, do what the EFL asked and we've been prevented from competing through embargoes for almost 2 seasons. I'd argue that we've already been punished, but if additional punishment is coming time to tell the EFL to go fizz themselves and let it play out in the courts. Someone needs to stand up to the EFL.
